Housing rate increase will be announced at residence meeting
By Steve Werner
The increase in housing rates for next fall will be announced at a meeting in the Harris Hall lounge at 5 p.m. today. The meeting is open to all residence hall students.
Guy Hubbard, administrative assistant, said the increase is expected to be about 5.6% a semester for both the dorms and apartments. That is, a typical increase in housing fees will be close to $35 for room and board.
Hubbard cites the rising cost of utilities as the factor most responsible forthe increased rates. Utilities alone have gone up more than 11%.
An increase in labor costs is also anticipated for next fall. Union negotiations expected to occur in May will in all probability result in a 5.5% increase.
At previous meetings with student leaders the deletion of services was offered as a possible alternative to rising costs. Because of past cuts, a lower level of maid service was the only remaining alternative. This was rejected as a solution.
As it stands, the $35 increase is necessary to break even. Leaders of housing organizations did agree to a $40 increase if some specific use for the extra money could be shown, said Hubbard. 1
For students residing in both the men’s and women’s complexes food service will remain mandatory. Hubbard said this is because both the food service and housing share in the payment of the federal bonds. If the income from food service was to decline, an increase in housing costs would result.
Anthony Lazzaro, vice-president for business affairs, and Hubbard are in agreement with student housing organizations that the increase is necessary.
11 Chicano students may face expulsion
By Kari Granville
Eleven Chicano students were informed Tuesday that if they failed to end their three-month boycott of classes by 4:30 p.m. that day, they would be expelled from the Teacher Corps Urban program they are working in.
Donald Wilson, director of teacher education, made the deadline known at an informal meeting with the students during the morning, but as of 3 p.m. the group had not yet received an official statement.
The decision was reached Monday when Wilson and representatives from the Los Angeles County Special Schools, the Compton School District, and the USC Teacher Corps Urban staff met with the program’s federal administrators in Washington D.C.
The group also said Wilson
took two Black team leaders, and another Black intern in the program to the meeting, pointing out that there was no Chicano representatives in the delegation.
“We feel that Wilson and his delegation railroaded the decision to terminate us,” said a spokesman for the Chicano group.
He added, “Our side was never presented in that meeting. Due process was set aside and a decision that directly effects us was made without our input.”
Wilson and the other representatives who flew to the Washington D.C. meeting were unavailable for comment.
One of the students directly effected by the decision said the Chicano group heard the purpose of the meeting was to discuss the

Unruh to speak on his mayoral candidacy today
Jess Unruh, candidate for mayor of Los Angeles, will speak today from noon to 1:30 p.m. in Hancock Auditorium.
He will talk on the issues of the mayoral campaign. A question and answer period will follow.
Unruh was elected to the California State Assembly in 1954 and served as Speaker of the Assembly for over seven years.
Unruh’s campaign is presenting him to the people as a man who not only makes promises, but also keeps them.
The Unruh Plan includes reducing school violence and street crimes, decreasing smog and traffic congestion, fighting the threat of drug abuse among youth, improving the community environment, and decreasing the high cost of government and taxes. He also wants to provide for the needs of senior citizens, provide for a youth action services division in the office of the mayor, improve the relevancy of education, stimulate tourism, establish a comprehensive housing rehabilitation program and cooperate with all groups of the Los Angeles area.
Today’s appearance is sponsored by the USC Students for Unruh.
PODIUM POLARITY—Representatives of two political extremes spoke on campus Tuesday. Sen. James L. Buckley (R-N.Y.), addressed a group in Bovard Auditorium. Buckley is the brother of the famous conservative writer, William F. Buckley Jr., and one of the most consistently conservative members
of the Senate. Olga Rodriguez is a Socialist candidate for mayor of Los Angeles and participates in the Chicano and women's liberation movements. DT photos by Michael Sedano and Gehrig Ikeda. (See stories page 5.)

Trojan Knights to sponsor blood drive with prizes for all donors
The Trojan Knights in conjunction with the Red Cross, are sponsoring a blood drive Wednesday through Friday in the Student Activities Center from 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Besides getting credits for their own blood accounts at both USC and the Red Cross, donors will receive coupon booklets. In addition to the coupon booklets, raffle tickets donated by 32nd Street Market will be given away. The winners will receive two round trip tickets each to San Francisco.
The coupon booklets contain coupons for free notebooks, discounts at some local restaurants and other gifts.
Other raffle prizes include free dinners, gift certificates, shirts and travel clocks.
Because of the hepatitis epidemic that has swept California there is a drastic need for blood this year.
This hepatitis epidemic in California is from drug abuse, said Arlene Knapp, who is in charge of the bloodmobile that will come to USC.
Last year, according to Knapp, 30,000 people contracted hepatitis as a result of blood transfusions and 3,000 died.
Most of the cases of hepatitis can be traced to the blood obtained from the commercial blood banks, said Knapp.
The Red Cross obtains superior blood because all the donors are volunteers, while
the commercial blood banks pay a few dollars to anyone who wants to donate, thereby often attracting derelicts who need money.
Before the Red Cross sends the blood to the 250 hospitals it serves in two counties, numerous tests are run on the donated blood to make sure it is healthy and uninfected.
The Red Cross also has certain qualifications for all donors. Anyone who weighs at least 110 pounds, is between the ages of 18 and 65 and who has never had hepatitis, is eligible to give blood.
Because Red Cross donors are volunteers, and are not paid, they usually tell the truth about any past illnesses they may have had.
Red Cross has six mobile units that collect about 1,400 pints of blood a day to send to the 250 hospitals in Los Angeles and Orange counties.
When a person donates blood in the name of a group of organization, as it will be done here, the donor gets credit in his blood account in two places; in the name of the group and in the name of the Red Cross.
If a friend or family of the donor needs blood, the credits can be transferred any time to their names so that they will receive free blood.
On the open market, the price of blood runs from $25 to $125 a pint. The more rare the blood type is, the more expensive it is.
